As Needed
Team WOD
In Teams of 2:
Five rounds for time of:
40 Burpees
60 Box Jumps, 24″/20″
40 Kettlebell Swings, 1.5Pood/1Pood
2 Rope Ascents
Only one athlete can work at a time. Teams must complete all the reps of each exercise before moving onto the next. Sub 15 pullups for 1 rope ascent if needed.

I found this Pullup Progression Chart on CrossFit New Englands Website. I thought it was great the way they set it up. I tried to post a link to the page, but I couldn’t get it to work so I decided to cut and paste it. Here it is:
Pull up Progressions
Everyone want so to be able to rip out 20+ unbroken pull ups, but the path from novice to fire-breather can often seem daunting and overwhelming. We have created a progression that will help you determine what level you are at now, and what you should be focusing on in the near term to achieve your long term goal of full fledge fire breather.
Once you achieve a certain Level do not regress to a previous level just because a workout calls for a bunch of reps. Scale reps to accommodate your skill.
LEVEL 1
Jumping Kip – set up plates under your feet so that you are able to grab the pull up bar without too much effort. From here practice Jumping Kipping Pull ups until all points of performance are met.
- Full extension of arms to start and at the bottom of each rep.
- At the bottom push your chest forward under the bar
- At the top get your chin over bar.
- On the way down push away from the bar to set up for the next rep.
LEVEL 2
Consecutive Jumping Kips – set plates so bar is at your wrist while standing at full extension.
- Continue here until you can get 15 consecutive reps with chin over the bar.
LEVEL 3
Band Pull ups with the 1 inch band
- Continue here until you can get 15 consecutive reps.
LEVEL 4
Band Pull ups with the 1/2 inch band
- Continue here until you can get 15 consecutive reps.
LEVEL 5
Kipping Pull ups
- Continue here until you can get 5 consecutive reps. At this point you’ll never use the band again. If needed scale reps, don’t go back to the band.
These “Pull up Progressions” are posted on the Community Board at CFNE.

I would like to have a max pullup competition. The results will be posted on the board with the Named WODs. We will start the competition tomorrow with the Paleo Final Test, and end it on Friday. That gives everyone a week to get their max pullup set. Standards are chin over bar with full extension on every rep. You must have a judge/rep counter for y0ur set to count.

“At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly becomes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you have the conviction that you contain all the power in the world, that you are capable of everything, that you have wings. There is no more precious moment in life than this, the white moment, and you will work very hard for years just to taste it again.”

Protein may strengthen your bones as well as your muscles. In a study at the U.K.”s University of Surrey, lead researcher Andrea Darling, Ph.D(c), found that protein may increase the hormone that boosts bone mineral density. The amount you need varies with your level of activity. The simplest guidline: Eat some protein at every meal. (Men’s Health 4/2010)

Team WOD Day….Please attempt to arrive on the hour so we can organize teams!
Warmup As Needed
Team WOD
Teams of 2
1st
Clean and Jerk, 1rep max
Bar must go from ground to locked out overhead. There will be a 6min time limit for this event. Athletes may complete warmup sets before the clock starts. Only one bar can be used for each team. Therefore you must strip weights as you rotate back and forth. Score is equal to the combined weight lifted by the athletes.
2nd
For time:
42-30-18
Push Press 135lbs/95lbs
Ring Dips
Burpees
Calorie Row
Only one athlete can go at a time. Athletes must complete all the reps of each exercise before moving onto the next. Score is equal to time in seconds.
To Score: Subtract the score from part 1 from part 2 to get final score. For example, if Clean and Jerk =400lbs and the metcon =10min(600sec) the team score would be (600-400)= 200. The lowest team score wins.

The Six W’s: Work will win when wishing won’t.
